Go figure...
Thank you, as always.

That "in between" state, does it persist if you recompare? What about restarting EDP?

If we are talking about the 32 bit then, yes, it's perfectly repeatable and rock steady.
Something in my settings?

And I can tell you, again: did you see my screenshots? Do you need some more? No problem: how many? :lol:
Now, lets dig a bit.
I just noticed that, in the 64 bit, when I switch from one mode to the other the status bar is for some moments like in my binary screenshot, then becomes as in my byte-by ...

0x... format is a way to show hex numbers
Sure, but 0x0000000C is exactly the same as 0xC but the latter is by far more compact and, at least so long as the number can be printed in the available space, more meaningful than, say, "0x00".

Resizing panes based on the cursor position or selection ...

That's what we call the "short blanket" conundrum: which side you leave out? :(
I don't have any real solution to propose.
As a partial fix I can suggest removing the leading zeros (see below) and dynamically resize the status bar panes in a more effective way.

You can also ...

there are no differences in status bars based on this flag.
...Except the differences you see in my screenshots in the space for the offset and, consequently, in that for the "Value".

What does it mean the '\' in case of binary?
Quite trivial, sorry: it's the left wing of the 'V' of "Value ...

Sorry, I didn't look.
What a stupid!

Here it comes (automatically generated).

Binary mode Byte by Byte mode
(Thinking aloud)
Why are the status bars different?
What does it mean the '\' in case of binary?
Why so much room for "Selection:"?
What about an option to show or hide the file date and time?

Next time we'll see.

(...and NOT using the windows search service but a program who really scans the directories.)

I made a search in the whole disk.

The scenario I'm curious about is when EDP 16 is first installed while previous installation(s) existed and had a password file.
Yes, I know.


Do you mean that the setup log would be created even without "/log" command line option? :?:

Yes. The log will be created in the %temp% folder ...

Ehm...
I don't remember if was Schumann or Schubert. In a piano sonata he wrote: "to be played with full strength".
And a few bars later: "stronger"...
As you can see in the screenshot, the window is already maximized!
